So often we define our success based on society's standards (lots of money, big house). I found this and wanted to share with others. I can't claim all of these signs, but a good many of them. It helped me put my life in perspective.

You are actually living a good life by recognizing these 25 signs:

1. Your relationships are less dramatic than they use to be.

2. You may not have as much money as you want but you live a rich life.

3. You’re not afraid to ask for help and support.

4. Where you live feels like home.

5. You’ve raised your standards.

6. You let go of things that don’t make you feel good.

7. You have moments where you appreciate who you see in the mirror.

8. You’re working on limiting your inner critic and consciously choosing more positive thoughts.

9. You’ve learned that setbacks and failure are part of self-growth.

10. You have a support system that includes people who would do anything for you.

11. You hear “I love you” often, from friends, family or a partner.

12. You’ve accepted what you can’t change, but change what you can’t accept.

13. You don’t complain much, but instead focus on solutions.

14. You don’t blame your parents, and accept them for who they are.

15. You stopped caring about what others think of you.

16. You’re happy for your exes when they move on.

19,23, 24 and 25 for me, a long way to go.

I have a theory that "going far in life" is not about the job you get or how much money you make. It should be measured by how much love you give and the difference you make in other people's lives.

That is a nice way of putting it Stronger. Wish others thought as smartly as you.
